In a recent development, Imperial broadcaster Alton Kastle reported that local community leaders were meeting today to determine whether to raze the Old Republic Senate Building in Lothal's Capital City. Imperial inspectors had reported that in recent months, the site had attracted an "unwanted criminal element." While some citizens feel that the building gives a sense of character and history to Lothal, Kastle disagreed and voiced the opinion that the building was a constant reminder of a purportedly less prosperous time.
